5.0 out of 5 stars TAKE NO PRISONERS ROCK AND ROLL!, January 27, 2001

What a great first album! This is pure no gimmicks, unadulterated rock and roll. The crunchy guitar work on here reminds me a little of Keith Richards, or Ron Wood when he was with the Faces. Hambridge brought on 4 hired guns for guitar duties on here. The most prominent being Mike Welch, who has had a good solo career himself. He also has brought on the great voice of Susan Tedeschi. Hambridge produced her great solo album "Just Won't Burn", and wrote many of the songs on that album. The first single off this album is Opposites Attract", in which Hambridge and Tedeschi trade musical barbs with each other."I like to listen, she likes to talk,I like the front seat, he likes the back, I bark like a dog, she purrs like a pussycat". I'm betting they had a lot of fun with that song. She also joins him with some seriously good singing on "Long Way Home", and the slow burner "Highway", that's got some of the best guitar work on the album. One of my favorites on here is "Gas",in which Hambridge brings in a sitar that gives the song a 60's psychedelic sound. Different than anything on the album. Catchy and very cool.In between all this is just fun rock and roll that hasn't been sung with this much passion since the early days of Springsteen. Hambridge is a very good songwriter and producer. Something you don't see very often by somebody who just plays drums and sings. If your a fan of the old Stones or Faces, and hungry for some of that kind of rock and roll, I promise you that you'll love this one. My favorite album from 2000.

WOW! Great music. I knew I couldn't go wrong with Susan Tedeschi accompanying on vocals and guitar. I'll be looking for more Tom Hambridge to add to my music collection.
